COLOR WATCH: PLAYING WITH PINK IN A NEW YORK FAMILY LOFT!

I’m not a big pink person. Unlike some of my dearest friends who love pink and have pink touches all over their homes and even wear pink from time to time…I’m a bit afraid of pink in home decor (and in fashion). Don’t know why…maybe it is because pink reminds me of 8 year old girls and princess dresses? Don’t know. Maybe because whenever I’ve tried to incorporate pink into my wardrobe, I accidentally pair it with black and then feel like that Good & Plenty candy. I admit…I have had a case of pink-a-phobia over the years. I don’t own anything pink, I don’t have anything pink in my house and if I see pink, I sometimes cringe.

After seeing this New York City loft from interior designer Ghislaine Vinas, I may have conquered my fear of pink. I really like this space that is filled with pops of pink.

This is a cool modern city apartment where the pink touches add cheerful accents of color. Cheerful pink highlights that work for me (a self admitted pink-a-phobic). Just the right amount of pink!

Thank you Ghislaine for curing my aversion to pink. Who knows, I might have to actually add a little pink into my home, wardrobe…into my life! Wish me luck!

Love the pink closet door and built in shelving. Great idea for adding color to wall space without painting the whole room. (above)

How do you feel about pink?

Hope you have a great Friday and that thinking pink is working for you!

    thanks for the post. The color scheme was actually based on a hot pink streak in my clients hair. Funny holding paint chips to her head.
    If pink is made to be not so pretty it can actually look cool

    How do I fee about the pink, its such a happy color, but I wouldn’t want to have as much as they have in the apartment, but it works for them.

    I’m interested in the pillows… Where’d those come from?

    Being English, I call them cushions (and I have always wondered how you differentiate between a pillow and a cushion if one word is used for both?!) and would also like to know the story behind the buzz-word cushions. I am assuming they are bespoke – but perhaps not?

    I used to detest pink in my younger years. And I think it had something to do with memories of my grandmother chasing me around with pink dresses(something I also used to dislike) but now I’ve found as I look around my home pink has begun to invade it and I’m not a bit afraid 😉 ( we’re still working on dresses) this pink here is definitely a welcome change from drearier family rooms it brings out the happiness in family life with an unexpected touch of bright.

    I must say those pink and white bookshelves would look better if the colors were reversed, but you what, they still work.

    I do like pink and gray together but would definitely overeat around all that stimulating hot pink. The gray concrete island, however, would have me licking it like a deer to a salt block! Yum.

    I would have liked to have seen some other colors used with the pink. There are many colors that could have been pulled from the rug that could have been placed in the room with the pink.

    Hi Andrea,

    These look like Arne Jacobsen’s Series 7 chairs/counter stools. I know the chair version comes in a variety of colors…including pink!

    Best,
    Coco

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.
